For PaintShop Pro you could use Gimp. Excel you could use StarOffice.
The beta verison of 6 is out now and is an improvement on 5.
Now the results.
I have successfully run TS6 within vmware (www.vmware.com) 3.0 and
win98se. I am having no problems at all so far. I have setup my
virtual machine with 800MB disk and 64MB RAM. It works great, though
slower than an actual machine. I can start, stop, fold, spindle,
and otherwise mutulate windows to my heart's content!
My linux server has 576MB and I will now increase vm's allotment
of core to ~128 and see how it does.
I am very pleased with this software!
